Bomber hold at the top 5.7 pitch... I was told to stop and pose for the shot. Try looking down all that exposure.

Rich Goldstone approaching the first of the roofs. The crux for me was always getting to this point. The roof itself is easy, although intimidating, with huge holds.

What a fun arete!

Mauro beneath the second pitch of Bonnie's Roof Direct.

Gene Smith on P1 below the crux, and unknown climber finishing P2.

nothing new here... just another classic shot from one of the most photogenic pitches in the Gunks (Bonnie's Roof, pitch 2)

After the traverse... some gear please!

Brian pulls through the bomber finger locks at the crux of Bonnie's Roof Direct.

Rich Goldstone racking up at the base of Bonnie's Roof. Rich was (is?) a strong gymnast and was known for his climbing feats of superhuman strength.

Be careful of the moving block up top. Moves with the touch of a finger. Best to step around it and not to yard on this at all.

Stemming to place pro for the crux.

How to make this move even more awkward.

First did this route in the 90's. Shirt and helmet probably from the same time....

Rob and I on the belay ledge. Amazing views and such a great climb.

The route. At the final huge triangular roof, the regular route traverse left on the face then up the arete. The "Direct" (not really particulary direct) climbs into the right-facing corner at the right of the triangular roof and then left around the next roof.

Classic Bonnie's Shot

There are two old pins on the traverse and you can probably throw in some cams to back them up. Watch out for the loose flakes on this pitch!

Climber making moves on P2 5.7 variation.

Old style is the new new style

Climbing up the dihedral
